Important pricing factors include:
- Number of applications required
- Mobile and Smart TV platforms supported
- CMS and subscriber-management requirements
- Custom branding and development
- CDN and streaming requirements
- Payment gateway integration
- DRM integration
- Existing infrastructure integrations
- Additional custom features
For example, an OTT service requiring only iOS and Android applications will have different requirements from a service supporting mobile, web, Android TV, Samsung TV, and LG TV.
For this reason, OTT platform pricing should be based on the operator's actual technical and business requirements rather than simply the number of subscribers.
A technical discovery process helps define the required architecture and integrations before final project pricing is established.
